I mean you at least have Judaism, Catholic, different Christian sects (seems all Christian sects do not see Catholism as Christianity), Islam. Does this mean that some are more loyal to some and not to all members of God's kingdom?

It signifies the non-existence of God. If there really was a god, and he meddled in human affairs like the major religions say, he would have straightened us out long ago.
The many religions and sects are around because people are just making the whole thing up. A new idea is just as valid as an old idea when neither is really based on anything.
Religion is just superstition.

All religions are there for a purpose.
Everyone is unique and each of us has been brought up in a certain culture, family etc.
therefore, we end up abiding to a religion that makes most sense to us.
It does not mean that some are loyal and some are not.
It simply means that we can't all be the same since not all of us can grasp the concept of Buddhism for example while it may be easier to understand the concept of Christianity, vice versa.
At the end of the day, each religion professes over the same qualities of human kind which should be along the line of peace, love and compassion .

God is not divided. He is the Lord God of Israel and none else. Mal 2:16; Joel 2:27
In my reading and understanding of the word, non Israelites cannot commune directly with God. The Israelites are the "royal priesthood" which means they should be performing sacradotal functions whereby non Israelites can have access to God through them the same way that the Levitical priests performed an intercessory role for the Israelites. All Israelites that accept Christ can (and should) perform this role for Christ said:
"I am not sent but for the lost sheep of the House of Israel" and sent His disciples to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Mat 10:6, 15:24
The question is, who are the true Israelites? for Christ accused the Jews of being of the synagogues of Satan and of their father the devil! (Rev. 2:9 & 3:9; John 8:44)
The true Israelites are those that (1) keep the commandments AND (2) keep the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev 12:17) The ancient and contemporary Jews who reject(ed) Him are not. For more on the subject, see http://study.faithweb.com

Having different religions do not signify a divided God. We have the same b elief in God, the existence of God but we have different teachings on the bible because of different interpretations on the teachings of the bilble
Many could not understand the bible clearly because they have mean it on its literal meaning and not on spiritual meaning.
It was written in the bible many could not understand it if God will not let them understand, so false evangelists, pastors may interprete in a wrong way. They don't care as long as they could earn money for themselves and for their own welfare.
Religion has become now a big business. in a society.
but this is forbidden by God. God said, I am counting on you.

There is a story told in religious gatherings. Seven blind man trying to figure out an elephant. Each touches different part of the elephant and assumes the whole elephant as per his perception. All the same with different religions and god. God is one and our perceptions differ.

There is only one God and Divine.
Religion are human way of reaching/connecting God based on available evidences, witnessing and God revelations.
If human motives are pure (of course God knows it) plus with Divine intervention/revelations...then God`s knowledge & senses are insightful/truthful & leading to right guided pathway towards the Almighty Father.
If human motives are contaminated with selfish act, pride, rivalries, competitions, hatred, destructions, accumulations of wealth...then everything is into wrong directions. Probably God let it be...that you`ll be misled towards the hades.

There is only one way to serve God. 1 Cor. 1:10 says: "Now I exhort YOU, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that YOU should all speak in agreement, and that there should not be divisions among YOU, but that YOU may be fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought."

Our children are all individuals, unique unto themselves. So too with God's children. God loves all of us and recognizes the good and bad in all of us and still loves us all the same. Jesus told us that in God's house there are many rooms and those who are not against us are with us.

It signifies the problems that arise when imperfect humanity thinks that they know how to worship Perfect Divinity.
Religion is manmade, and therefore flawed, and no one will ever be able to fully understand Perfection.
